This Band of traditional jazz began its activity at the end of 1981 in the city of Cordoba, Argentina, trying to recreate the style of the first groups of the twenties such as Joe "King" Oliver, Clarence Williams, Louis Armstrong, Sam Morgan, Johnny Dodds, "Jelly Roll" Morton and others less famous but not less important musically speaking. The Small Jazz Band is formed by teachers of Musical Education who believe in the aesthetic and sentimental value of this genre, maybe the most relevant and influential popular expression of the last century. Francisco F. Castillo (h), corneta y clarinete. Luis Alasino, trombón y saxo alto. Alejandro Kras, banjo. Roque Celis, tuba. Javier Machado, batería y washboard.
